We want all the workers in the world to organize
into a great big union grand
And when we all united stand
the world for workers we demand
If the working class could only see and realize
what mighty power labor has
then the exploiting master class
it would soon fade away
Come all ye toilers that work for wages,
come from every land
Join the fighting band,
in one union grand
Then for the workers we'll make upon this earth a paradise
When the slaves get wise and organize
We want the sailor and the tailor and the lumberjacks
and all the cooks and laundry girls
We want the guy that dives for pearls
the pretty maid that's making curls
and the baker and staker and the chimneysweep
We want the man that's slinging hash
the child that works for little cash
in one union grand.
We want the tinner and the skinner and the chamber-maid
We want the man that spikes on soles
We want the man that's digging holes
We want the man that's climbing poles
and the trucker and the mucker and the hired man
and all the factory girls and clerks
Yes, we want every one that works
in one union grand.
